NW is nothing like his other writings. It lacks the supernatural component that is present in most of his other novels. It's not entirely devoid of metaphysics, but it's first and foremost a love story. You can read it in a weekend if you have some free time, but I doubt it will blow your mind. If you want a love story that also will punch you in the stomach, then read 1Q84. At 1000 pages, it's a bigger commitment than any of his other novels, but the payoff is tenfold. A+.
